1) Business Meeting
- Approve June minutes – Laurel Heather Milden motion, Jeanne Calhoun second, passed
- Treasurer's Report (Laurel-Heather Milden) – Laurel Heather Milden motion to move another $6500 from our total assets into a CD or high yield savings account; Judy Janson second, passed
- Communications Committee – no report
- Program Committee - thank you for the refreshments
- Nominating Committee – no report
- Banner - (Joan Daniels) Colleen reported that meeting is scheduled on July 30 1-2pm about the fly friendly corridor and other helicopter issues, in person or on zoom; See website for more details.
- Traffic Advisory (Cindy Doklan) Jeanne Calhoun reported Park Tucson Permit changes; decision to use a capped payout of $3k rather than percentage requirement; this does not reduce payout for JP; Park Tucson’s next meeting about this is Aug 27th; see Cindy Doklan’s email for more details.
- Clean Committee – (Jeanne Calhoun filling in for now) 8am during the summer, 9am during the winter; for downed trees on the East side of the frontage road, ADOT should be responsible for taking care of those, and we can contact Ward III about this.
- Green Committee-(Micheal Hailey) Community relations person, Nick, got in touch about helping to clean the linear park in coordination with United Way on Nov 2nd; Nick will help find volunteers; there are lots of goatheads in the neighborhood right now, we should include a photo in the e-news so people can identify what it looks like.
- Central Segments Safety Meeting (Rosemary Bolza) Community service officer at meeting prior to JPNA meeting today; keep in mind it’s helpful to file police reports for tracking purposes.
- Grant Rd Coalition - (Joan Daniels) no report
- Red Tags - (Colleen Nichols) no report
- Land Use– (Trish Gehlen) please report suspected construction w/o permits to [email protected]
- IST - International School Rep Report (Colleen Nichols) – school starts next Thurs, Aug. Lots of activities next week so it’ll be busy there; TUSD is not going to sell the property to them for at least 5 years, so they are still looking for an additional campus.
- Tucson Electric Power (TEP) Line Siting outcome - (Colleen Nichols) Line Siting Committee (LSC) from Arizona Corporation Committee (ACC) held 10 days of hearings at the DoubleTree (lengthiest case they’ve ever had); we had someone there every day from the undergrounding coalition; LSC listens to all info including the Certificate for Environmental Compatibility TEP has submitted with all their routes, the LSC also went to all of the routes in person and all the substation locations; Dan Dempsey was our representative there at the table, helped LSC see that undergrounding is viable, there is plenty of precedent for undergrounding; now it goes before the ACC, could happen any time after Aug 13, but likely later than that. Good to emphasize safety concerns in comments (e.g. large poles are a safety concern if they fall in large storms).
- TEP Substation process - TEP’s next step is to apply for special exception permit for the substation (ACC has no jurisdiction over that property or process), so will go through a separate process open to the public. This area is part of the UA Area Plan, which calls for undergrounding of new lines (this is our best bet as neighborhoods are not covered by the rules for undergrounding in the Gateway Corridor); The UA is the largest consumer of power in the center of the city.
- CCRC - (Rosemary Bolza) – no report
6) Friends of Jefferson Park (Joan Daniels) - no report
7) Area Representatives Reports – no report
8) New Business
- Project update - Campbell Monument Signs - Monster signs was helpful before, but Colleen hasn’t been able to get a hold of them this time; still trying.
- Rosemary- Community Garden – Ricardo has a plot at the garden on Highland and Mabel; it’s irrigated; he’s welcoming other neighbors to use the plot as well

Ward III Report (CJ Boyd)
Neighborhood has been quiet – one larceny (theft, not from a house), one DUI, one traffic accident in the neighborhood (he doesn’t have info on where; Cindy asked for aggregate data on accidents for Traffic Committee); does not include thefts from the Dollar Store; Zac asked about TPD website with a Crime Map, seems to be missing from website? Matt will look into it; about to do a big annual shift change with new officers on July 14th so we might see new officers in the neighborhood.
Pima County (Keith Bagwell)
New heat ordinance for workers outside, working on details about how this will be enforced; also working on new tobacco and vaping ordinance that would raise the minimum age from 18 to 21 and for vaping retailers would have to get license from the county; county budget is slightly higher this year, but tax rate is stable (slight increase from property values and construction); they are cutting about 2% of each department.
Park Tucson (Tom Janowicz)
Will require 25% of permits sold for each permit area; we and 11 other neighborhoods are currently at less than that (only 4 neighborhoods are above that limit); that means the neighborhoods will no longer get funds from Park Tucson; RPP needs to be operating with at least a $4k surplus to continue the program; Cindy suggested another scenario where they could cap the distribution in each year, Tom will bring that up at the next meeting; JPNA had 200 tickets issued since Jan; Jeanne asked if we can get this info in writing as it’s very complicated and his audio was difficult to hear during meeting; Cindy will circulate the pdf to the board; Tom will let us know when the commission is going to meet.

Ward III Report (CJ Boyd)
- Change in BiFusion plastic recycling; it’s been too popular and they can’t take all our plastic at the CA facility; City decided to go with Hefty, which has a different program where you can put the same kind of plastic in one of their orange bags and they’ll take it, turn it into blocks or other things; as of July 1st, you have to buy their orange bags (which funds the program) and use those for the hard to recycle plastics; CJ still saying we’ll get our own BiFusion facility, eventually; Lisa said Fry’s is supposed to have them by this Saturday, you can also buy them online, or get one free bag on the Hefty website; remember that overall the goal should be to try to use less plastic; you can still put 1, 2, 5 plastics in the blue bin, that is a better solution.
- Working with Tucson Mesh, provides free, or ‘pay what you can’ internet; they are close to formalizing a partnership with Tucson House, which is tall and would give them line of site connection with satellite.
Neighborhood has been quiet – one larceny (theft, not from a house), one DUI, one traffic accident in the neighborhood (he doesn’t have info on where; Cindy asked for aggregate data on accidents for Traffic Committee); does not include thefts from the Dollar Store; Zac asked about TPD website with a Crime Map, seems to be missing from website?
